Challenge To Be Free (1974) - (Mike Mazurki) US one-sheet

This is a US 27" x 41" one-sheet poster made to promote the 1980 Tay
Garnett film Challenge to Be Free based on a story by Anne
Bosworth and Chuck D. Keen suggested by research by Dick North and
starring Mike Mazurki as Trapper. Plot summary: John McIntire narrates
this story about a trapper who has made the Alaskan wilds his home
among his many friends, the region's wild animals. This idyllic state
of affairs is disrupted when a complaint from another trapper named
Frenchy [Vic Christy] brings the forces of the law into the tranquil
life of the itinerant woodsman. McIntire's narrative recalls the time
when he personally led a posse on its long pursuit over 1000 miles
of treacherous frozen terrain.
